Oilite K-Coupling 5804 Series Flexible Shaft Coupling 5/8″ x 5/8″

Oilite K-Coupling 5804 Series Flexible Shaft Coupling 5/8″ x 5/8″

The Oilite K-Coupling 5804 Series Flexible Shaft Coupling is engineered to provide exceptional performance in applications requiring flexibility and durability. Designed to accommodate shafts with diameters of 5/8″ x 5/8″, this coupling effectively addresses misalignment issues, reduces bearing loads, and ensures a positive drive connection.

Key Features

• Flexible Design: The unique double-loop ELASTACAST® polyurethane elastomeric element allows the coupling to absorb up to 3/16″ (4.75mm) of parallel misalignment and 15° of angular misalignment, ensuring smooth and quiet operation.

• Durable Construction: The hubs are made from annealed steel for maximum strength and are zinc-plated to resist corrosion. Stainless steel options are also available for enhanced durability. ([oilite.com](https://www.oilite.com/k-coupling-design?utm_source=openai))
• Reduced Bearing Loads: By accommodating misalignments, the K-Coupling minimizes extra loads on motor bearings, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements. ([oilite.com](https://www.oilite.com/k-coupling?utm_source=openai))
• Positive Drive Connection: The coupling provides a zero-backlash connection, transmitting exact RPM with no lag during speed or directional changes. ([oilite.com](https://www.oilite.com/k-coupling?utm_source=openai))
• Easy Installation: Hubs mount to shafts using standard Allen screws, and keyed hubs are available in the 5803 and 5804 series for applications requiring additional security. ([oilite.com](https://www.oilite.com/k-coupling-design?utm_source=openai))
